KOLLAM: CPM leader K Varadarajan has written a Facebook post alleging that CM’s disaster relief fund is a scam. Though he has given explanation that his political opponents are trying to disgrace him by taking a particular paragraph from a post clarifying the concerns associated with salary challenge, the party has not found the explanation satisfactory. The party is not likely to tolerate such allegations which ties the party and the chief minister with corruption.

The remark has put the party into resistance and Varadarajan’s explanation was not well received even among his friends. Varadarajan’s controversial post has caused some misunderstandings among the service organisations that favours the ruling party.

Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan’s call to all salary-earners to contribute at least a month’s salary to the reconstruction of flood-ravaged lives and regions of the State had evoked a huge response with persons including Governor P. Sathasivam and the employees of the Secretariat volunteering to do so.
